Hi
Apologies - this is more of a bash question than an Icecast question.
When I visit the listmounts.xsl page for my Icecast server, for
example here:
http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/listmounts.xsl
I see that each mountpoint is listed like so:
> Mount Point : (/example.mp3)
> List Clients | Move Listeners | Update Metadata | Kill Source
>
> 35 Listener(s)
The code for the "Kill Source" link resembles something like this:
http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3
So is there a way of invoking this URL from bash - perhaps like this:
lynx -auth user:password
http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3
Only the above doesn't work.
I would use this for the automated detaching of unwanted mountpoints,
perhaps in a cron job.
Many thanks in advance.
